letter 4 small

  Letter 4 — 14th December 2020: The Flight Over Shimla, and My Heart at Home Dear Mamma, I’m writing this just after returning from Bangalore. I missed you so much the entire way back home—it was as if your voice was echoing inside me throughout the journey. The flight was smooth until we reached Chandigarh. The pilot announced, “Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, the airport is a little busy so we haven’t received landing permission. We’ll need to circle for a few more minutes. Right now, we’re flying over Shimla. Please enjoy the beautiful view of the mountains.” And in that moment, I looked down and saw the majestic hills of Shimla beneath me. I smiled and thought— one day, once things settle, I will bring Mamma here. We’ll go to Shimla together. All of us—Dilip, Tejas, you, Papa—we will go on a peaceful trip and make joyful memories. Dilip is so caring and gentle, Mamma. You both will enjoy his company so much. You’ll feel as if you’ve found a son, not just a son-in-law...

Letter 97 He Wanted to Treat His Mother Like a Queen — And So Did I

  Letter 97 Date: 9th July 2025 Dear Mamma, Yesterday, I came across a YouTube short — just about a minute long — but it shook me to my core. It was probably from a Pakistani news anchor interviewing people on the street. The question was simple: “Tell us a wish that you know can never be fulfilled.” I thought people would say things like becoming a Bollywood star or the President of the United States — and many did. But then came a man, maybe in his late forties or early fifties, and what he said made me freeze. He said, “My biggest wish is to take care of my mother like a queen. But when she was alive, I didn’t have the means. And now, when I finally have the money, she is no longer here.” The screen cut to black with a soft, tragic sound. That moment… it stayed with me. Tears rolled down my cheeks instantly, and they haven’t really stopped since. Because Mamma, his pain is mine too — only difference is, you’re still alive . And still, I feel like that helpless man. I am in ...

Letter 4 — 14th December 2020: The Sky Above Shimla, and My Heart with You

  Letter 4 — 14th December 2020: The Sky Above Shimla, and My Heart with You Dear Mamma, I’m back from Bangalore now, sitting quietly in my room, and my heart is still full of everything I felt today. The whole journey back to Yamuna Nagar felt long, not because of time or distance, but because I missed you with every passing moment. I kept thinking about your face, your soft voice, and that warmth only a mother can give—something I never stop craving. My flight from Bangalore was scheduled in the afternoon. Everything was going smoothly until we reached near Chandigarh. Suddenly, the flight began circling in the sky. After a few minutes, the pilot’s voice came over the speaker— “Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, the airport is currently busy, and we haven’t been given permission to land yet. We’ll be in a holding pattern for a while. We’re currently flying over Shimla. Please enjoy the beautiful view.” As soon as he said Shimla , I turned to the window. Below us, the mounta...
